WOOF is a wonderful tribute to the dogs that enrich our lives in so many ways. It is obvious that Elliott Erwitt has a particular affinity for these unique creatures, and his masterful depictions are filled with love and gentle humour. As Trudi Styler notes in her foreword to the book, Elliott's photographs convey the special nature of dogs, whatever the breed. He is 'a dog person', and it shows.The dogs pictured in WOOF include the aristocratic and the humble, the elegant and the scruffy, the aloofly cool and the exuberantly involved. Sometimes their humans are pictured with them, illustrating that special relationship that we develop with no other type of animal. But it is the dog that is given centre-stage - sometimes demanding it, sometimes bashful and sometimes indifferent.
